I found a workaround for the necktype bug
Sat Dec 23, 2006 3:32 pm
I went into plyrgeo.viv and renamed uneck* to uneckwide* and vice versa, then switched all the 5's and 0's in necktype in teamgear.dbf.
The normal, classic, "uneck" necktype for Boston, NJ, Minnesota, now works correctly even they are playing against a team with a differnet neck type.
Interestingly even though I switched the Boston alternate to '0' which should now correspond to the uneckwide, it still has the normal uneck shape - I think the game reads necktype=0, takes it as a null value, and refers to a default model from somewhere, which happens to be the normal uneck; this probably is where the bug comes from in the first place, if the 2nd team has necktype 1-5, that one replaces the default one, and gets pasted onto the team with necktype '0'.
Luckily for this workaround, the only jersey that uses the uneckwide is the Boston alternate, and necktype '3', vneckwide, is close enough that it looks fine if you just change the necktype to 3; essentially this workaround removes necktype 5 the uneckwide from the game, but since it's only one jersey and model 3 works well enough for it, it's no big loss.
I'm going to upload this fix as well as an updated teamgear.dbf once I tweak the Celtics auerbach patch jersey patch I made, and upload them all together, probably tomorrow.

If you download the updated plyrgeo.viv that I uploaded, just change all the necktype 0 in teamgear.dbf to necktype 5, and change the 1 necktype 5 to necktype 3.
The bug occurs whenever a necktype is labeled '0' in teamgear.dbf, and you can rename the files in plyrgeo.viv to whatever you want - 5 always refers to 'uneckwide', but I renamed uneck to uneckwide and vice versa, so that the label '5' refers to the file 'uneckwide' but is really the geometry for 'uneck'
Uneckwide happens to be only used for one jersey in the game, and vneckwide is close enough that it works pretty well for it, so that's the one I chose to rename
